Surgical Management of Periodontitis and Crown Lengthening

This course has been specifically designed for general dental practitioners who would like to comprehensively manage their periodontitis patients by upskilling in surgical management strategies. The vast majority of chronic periodontitis today can be managed non-surgically. However in some cases the diseases may not completely resolve signified by residual pockets. These cases may require further surgical management and are often associated with infra-bony and inter-radicular defects. This course is a mix of lectures, live patient surgeries and hands on workshops.
